Milwaukee Bucks are all set to host Orlando Magic on Saturday, March 8 at the Fiserv Forum. Bucks have been dealing with their own injury issues as it will be interesting to see whether Giannis Antetokounmpo features against the Magic or not.
Will Giannis Antetokounmpo play against Orlando Magic?
The 30-year-old forward is not listed on the injury report for the Milwaukee Bucks. He is fully fit and will start against the Magic. Three players are listed on the injury report for Bucks which include Gary Trent Jr. (knee), Ryan Rollins (personal) and Pat Connaughton (calf), all on day-to-day.
